Arbonne

What's your secret to looking so good?
It's no secret, it's natural!
Oh okay
No...I mean it's all Natural Products! Arbonne!

Launch:
Just got back from meeting with my trainer and one of his friends...I have learnt loads! Over the last few years when slimming down, I have tried different things to help with the aching. Being fit and active is great! But I have worked so hard in a sessions before that I ached for 5 days! Then they enlightened me about Arbonne! Completely natural products, they sell everything from make up to work out shakes! Then they made up a little "feel-goodie bag" to try some of the products.

Day 1:
So this morning, I had the glorious task of waking up at 5am! Oh how lucky I am! But, I used this as an opportunity to see how awake Arbonne can make me feel. I tried a fizz stick. YUM! I expected a typical epherfesant drink, but I actually it tasted like juice. I continued my daily routine using the cleanser, moisturiser and eye cream, by which point I was ready to take on the world!

Day 2:
The night cream is a little too good! I could not get out of bed this morning! I don't know if night creams are meant to aid sleep but it is all I can really think of that I have changed over the last 2 nights and slept like a baby!

As I had a gym session scheduled last night, I thought that it would be a great time to try out some more products! I had the Phytosport prepare work out shake before going to the gym and I was astounded! It tastes like tropical juice! I am used to drinking a pre-workout drink and retching for the latter half due to the bitter taste. I then tried the Phytosport post workout when I got (tastes like strawberry) and I must say...I feel great today!

Normally the day after a work out, I will feel every slight movement, but of course it is usually at its worse 2 days after! So we will see how I feel tomorrow. So far, I am really impressed with this brand!

Day 3:
So far this week I have had two scheduled sessions when normally I only have one. To say that after my Monday session last week, I was aching until Friday, I am not doing too bad. I can feel it a little, but no more than if I went on my own and was reliant on self motivation.

Day 4/5:
Guilty! No gym sessions this weekend but, I have still used the FC5 Range and I love it! I have tried the foundation on a day when I was too hot really to wear it, I thought that I would sweat and my pores would clog, but it actually helped in the sun, being SPF 15.

Day 6:
It has been too hot to gym today! But of course, I pushed myself! Thank God I had a Arbonne Hydration drink whilst working out! I don't think that I could have coped without it!

I love this brand and would recommend it to anyone!

30.1 and counting

Really happy with the progress made over the last 4 weeks!

After another knackering session, I reckon I will ache tomorrow! 

I had my 4 week review! I have lost weight but more importantly I have reduced my body fat! My BMI is decreasing. I am still obese at 30.1! My aim is to get to BMI 29.9! Almost at just overweight! WAHOO!

I blame the boobs...yep, it is definitely nature's pillows, they are heavy! Then there is the clown feet that I need in order to balance the pillows! The other day I actually bought men's shoes because they are so giant! I would say that it was a dig to my self esteem, but I got a bargain and one hell of a laugh in the shop with my sister!

So far, I have learnt not to read into weight and BMI. I look more towards body fat and dress size. The harder I work and more I weight train, the more muscle I will gain, and 1kg of fat takes up much more space in comparison to 1kg of muscle because muscle is more dense. Therefore, I am obese, I am a size 12(top)/14 (bottom) and yet I am more confident about my appearance then I have ever been!

But then, what do I know, I'm just in ReFlab
